The Last Rifleman

The Last Rifleman has built a devoted audience in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Angel Studios, and in the UK on Now TV Cinema among viewers who want their drama to earn its emotional beats. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. With 97 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it for Pierce Brosnan — one of the stronger performances out there right now. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

The Last Rifleman arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The writing in The Last Rifleman treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. A WWII veteran escapes his care home in Northern Ireland and embarks on an arduous but inspirational journey to France to attend the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, finding the courage to face the ghosts of his past. The performances from Pierce Brosnan and Clémence Poésy give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. It was released in 2023. What elevates The Last Rifleman is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in The Last Rifleman. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Pierce Brosnan is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.
